HARK THE HERALD Polio Won't Wait; Why Should THE ANNOUNCEMENT recently of the development of a new polio vaccine which is taken by mouth rather than by injection caused considerable excitement and comment. Its proponents expect it to be more effective than the Salk vaccine in prevention of the disease.

It would be a tragedy, however, if the stir in anticipation of this new vaccine should cause the Salk vaccination program to falter at this time. For the fact is that the new vaccine will not be available in quantities for general use for perhaps two years, according to word from the National Foundation, which has sponsored the development of the new vaccine as well as of the Salk vaccine. In the meantime, the need for protection against polio continues. And consequently the work of accination with the available Salk vaccine should also go on unabated. The disease continues to stalk, and continues to find its victims, mostly among those who have not been vaccinated.

It is foolish for anyone 1 to take the chance of going unguarded when the protection of the vaccine is readily at hand. It is especially important that children have this protection, for they have most to lose, in terms of blighted years, if polio strikes. The news of a refinement in polio vaccine is wonderful. But don't wait for it. Polio won't.

(Survivors Of Ship Being Picked Up By Rescue Teams QUELIMANE, Mozambique -(UPD Rescue teams headed by sea and air today to an Isolated beach to pick up the remaining survivors of a Portuguese ship that caught fire during a storm and was ripped by explosions. A handful of survivors was stranded on the lion-infested 30 miles from the ancient slave trade port of Quelimane.

The "Save" ran aground near the mouth of the Mahindi River off the southeast African Coast of Mozambique Friday. Portuguese authorities in Lisbon said Monday night the ship had carried 442 persons. At least 30 Portuguese soldiers and 105 African troops among them were dead or missing. Naval officials in Lourenco Marques, Mozambique's capital, said there had been 565 persons a- board and that 237 were dead or missing. Small planes flew mercy missions Monday to the beach to ferry some of the shocked survivors back to civilization.

The mangrove swamp and jungles surrounding the beach are filled with lions. In recent weeks, lions have raided several cattle farms in the Quelimane area. Lions have been shot in the area in the last two months and two more were killed only four days ago. Burned and injured survivors crowded Quelimane's tiny mission hospital founded to treat sick natives. Survivors said the ship had been bound from Lourenco Marques to Quelimane with troops to reinforce the northern Mozambique garrisons and with African miners returning from the South African gold mines.

Two other unions may join the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association (MEBA) in an appeal to the Federal Court of Appeals against the injunction issued late Monday by Judge Sylvester J. Ryan. The judge's injunction came in the Kennedy administration's first use of the Taft-Hartley Act. Ruling Beats Deadline Ryan, ruling two days ahead of schedule, found that resumption of the strike would imperil national health and safety and would tie up at least 532 American merchant vessels. The judge also dismissed contentions of the MEBA and the Masters, Mates and Pilots (MMP) union that neither fell under the TaftHartley Act because members were supervisory personnel.

That claim could be the basis of the appeal which attorney Lee Pressman said he would make for the (Continued on Page 12) Head Of Pakistan Arrives In U.S. For State Visit WASHINGTON (UPD Pakistan's tough, straight-talking President Mohammed Ayub Khan arrives here today to lay before President Kennedy his complaints about U.S. policies.

Nikita Khrushchev's saber-rattling.

The legislative chiefs described. the talk with the President as very serious. They said that as a result of Khrushchev's Berlin threats Congress will probably approve a foreign aid program pretty much along the lines Kennedy requested. The President has asked for 8 $4.8 billion program with new borrowing authority to allot foreign aid funds on a long-range rather than a year-to-year basis. After the leadership meeting, Kennedy also called in six key Democratic members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee which is getting ready to vote on the bill.

Rep. H. L. Fountain (D-N. said the President outlined his arguments and pledged to eliminate waste and extravagance from the program.

Senate Republicans discussed the foreign situation briefly at a party conference but decided not to make any declaration on the Berlin crisis except to reiterate their insistence the Western Allies must "stand. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said after the weekly White House meeting with Kennedy that the "net result" of Khrushchev's tough tactics would be increased support for Kennedy's proposals.
